How many microfarads is 1 000 000 picofarads?
- A1 microfarad
- B10 microfarads
- C0.01 microfarads
- D0.001 microfarads
Correct answer: A — 1 microfarad. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
One million picofarads equals exactly one microfarad because the prefix "micro" means one millionth, while "pico" means one trillionth, creating a factor of one million between them. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
